Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (2, 3, 10) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 5 August 2017 — its closest relative in 908 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (19 December 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 50% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (17% expected).
